    This document provides instructions for installing and configuring FTPS (FTP Secure) using FileZilla on Windows Server 2003. Key steps include: 1. Downloading and installing the latest version of FileZilla Server, which will install the Windows service and GUI for administration. 2. Configuring the server settings through the 127.0.0.1 port 10050 administration interface, including setting up a welcome message, IP address bindings, and security bans. 3. Enabling SSL/TLS by generating a self-signed certificate with the server IP as the common name, or using a purchased public certificate, and specifying the certificate and key password in the SSL/TLS settings.

    Install and Configure FTP Secure (FTPS) or FTP-SSL

    using FileZilla

    I am going to show you how to setup an FTP Secure (FTPS protocol) on Windows Server
    2003 and have your own version of FTP server rather than default ftp in IIS.

    FTPS should not be confused with the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), an incompatible
    secure file transfer subsystem for the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. It is also different from
    Secure FTP, the practice of tunneling FTP through an SSH connection.

    Please make sure you don’t have IIS FTP service enabled and running. If you have it
    running, please disable FTP service as we are going to use the same ports as a standard FTP

    Download the latest version of FileZilla Server. At the time of writing, it was 0.9.33

    Choose Standard install and proceed. This will install the Windows service for FileZilla
    and the GUI for administration.
    After the Installation is completed, it is now to configuring the server. To start the
    Administration interface, Connect to 127.0.0.1 which is localhost on Port 10050 (you have
    given this during installation)
    Setup your server as per the images. They are self explanatory.

    We are going to have the FTP Secure to listen on port 21 which is the default FTP port.
    Setup your own customised welcome message when the users logs in. Make sure you select
    to hide the message in log, because this might increase the log size.

    Use * to bind all IP addresses on the local system. If your server has multiple IP addresses
    assigned, provide only the IP that you want to use
    To have better control over security, Ban all IP addresses to connect and include only the IP
    address in the exclude list that want to connect. Separate the IP address with a space. Here I
    allowed google.com IP (209.85.229.103)
    The next few settings are straight forward:
    Enable logging to see who the usage and also enable deletion of older log files or else you
    will end up requiring huge disk space
    Here you can set the download and upload speed limits if you wish to. Note that these
    limits are global settings, so they will take over individual user settings.
    This is the main part where we configure an SSL certificate to set our server as FTPS. You
    can use a public certificate which you need to purchase. But for the demo purposes, I am
    going to use inbuilt certificate generator.

    Provide your server IP address in the Common name


    Go back to SSL/TLS settings and give the path to the generated certificate and a key
    password
    And finally Autoban settings and we are done with Server Configuration.
